The Last Bale.
What was probably the last bale
ID this county of last year's cotton
was sold on Saturday last to the
mill by a colored man who resides
near Johnston. It " weighed 490]
pounds and was sold for 13 cents,
bringing $63.70. Think of a bale
of cotton weighing less than 500
pcunds bringing that amount l^Our j
farmers, however, are not BO much
interested in the price of the last
bale of the old as thev are in tht-r
first bale of the new crop.

bloom. Despite the intense heat
and long drought the magic hand
of Mrs. David Strother, who is a

by its hospitality.

They were greaMy pleased with

Almost everybody who reads the news
papers is sure to know of the wonderful
cures made by Dr.

I the great kidney, liver
it and bladder remedy.
It is the great medi
cal triumph of the nine
teenth century; dis
covered after years of
scientific research by
Dr. Kilmer, the emi
nent kidney and blad
der specialist, and is
wonderfully successful in promptly curing
lame back, kidney, bladder, uric acid trou
bles and Bright's Disease, which is the worst
form of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root ls not rec-,
ommended for everything but U you have kid
ney, liver or bladder trouble It will be found

been made by which all readers of Ihts paper
who haye not already tried it, may have a

The Law Department of the
aSouth Carolina College.
In addition to the regular lectures by
the professors of law of the South Car
olina College, the trustees and faculty
are pleased to be able to announce for
the coming session a very attractive
series of lectures to be contributed by
some of the leading members of the
Bench and Bar of South Carolina.
Among those who have consented to
deliver one or more lectures to the law
classes of the College are: Hon. Charlea
H. Simonton, U. S. Circuit Judge; Hon.
William H. Brawley, U. S. District
Judge; Hon. Y. J. Pope, Chief Justice
of South Carolina; Hon. C. A. Woods,
Associate Justice; Hon. Eugene B.
Gary, Associate Justice; Hon. Edward
McCrady. Hon. J. C. Sheppard, Hon.
G. Duncan Bellinger, Hon. S. J. Simp
son, Hon. J. P. Carey, and Hon. Andrew
Crawford.
The trustees ano faculty feel that in
securing the avsUtance of these dis
tinguished judges and lawyers they
have accomplished something that will
prove of the-greatest benefit to those
taking the "law course in the South
Carolina College. ; The number of those
enrolled in the law department during
the last two years-has been.the largest
in the history of the college, and the
hope is entertained that the prospect
of these additional lectures, may still
further increase the growing number
of law students. .
The great value of the training af
forded by schools of law has been too
thoroughly demonstrated to render
necessary any arguments in their sup
port. The day of preparation for the
bar by solitary study in a lawyer's
office has practically passed. Everyone
familiar with the working of a law
school must have been impressed with
the increased interest and zeal that re
sult from the mere association of young
men who have come together for the
common purpose of studying law. The
daily discussions of questions of law,
not only with the professors, but also
with each other, beget an enthusiasm
for the law which possibly, in some in
stances, could never have been acquired
otherwise.
The advantage of attending a profes
sional school in the State in which a
man is to practice his profession is in
no case more obvious than in that of a
lawyer. Besides the familiarity gained
with the decisions and statute iaw of
thc State, the fi iendships that he forms
at such a school add very materially to
his future usefulness as a citizen. The
career of lawyers as a class ls more apt
to be of a public nature than that of
those engaged in anv other profession
oe business. Not only are all of the
judges of the State drawn from the bar,
but the occupants of the legislative and
executive offices are also drawn very
largely from the same source. As so
many of the members of the legal pro
fession are naturally destined to public
careers, it is of no little importance
that the young men who have decided
to become lawyers should come into
close touch with other young men of
their own State who have chosen th?
same life-work.
' The most lasting friendships are not
infrequently formed during the part of
a man's life that is usually devoted to
preparation for the bar; and it is un
fortunate if this period should be spent
in a State other than that in which he
is to live. Several years spent at a pro
fession school in another State some
times find the student so completely cut
of toueh with the young men of his
own State that when Ue returns to
practice his profession he finds himself
laboring under a serious disadvantage,
which in some instances is never over
come.
. A law school, however, should be
patronized not alone by those intending
to practice law. There is hardfy a call
ing in life for which one would not be
better prepared by having taken a
course in law. Almost .everyone who
iias made an earnest study of the law
!wfll agree with Burke that it is a
^'Bclence which does more to quicken
,a*nd invigorate the understanding than
fall other kinds of human learning put
together." The hope ls indulged, there
fore, (hat the attendance upon the law
school of the South Caroona College
imay include some who have not de
tg^jSI??T^tr-S^e law their profession.

BUCK-DRAUGHT]
^SflPATlOH
Constipation is nothing more
than a clogging of the howel3 ,
" and nothingless than vital stag
nation or death if not relieved.
If every constipated sufferer
could realize that he is allowing
poisonous filth to remain in his
system, he would soon get relief.
Constipation invites all kind of
contagion. Headaches, bilious
ness, colds and many other ail
ments disappear when consti
pated bowels are relieved. Thed
forel's Black-Draught thoroughly
cleans out the bowels in an easy
and natural manner without the
purging of calomel or other vio
lent cathartics.
Be sure that you get the origi
nal Thedford's B' ..ck-Draught,
made by The Chattanooga Medi
cine Co. Sold by all druggists in
25 cent and $1.00 packages.
Morir?n, Ark., May 25, 1901.
I cannot recommend Thedford's Black
Draught too highly. 1 keep lt In my house
all Uie time and have used lt for the last
